Hurricane Maria
Description
Trash thrown into storm drainage systems that doesn’t get picked up by the workers assigned to clean this mess post-festival will end up washing downstream in the next storm, and ultimately end up in the island’s waterways and the ocean. Coming across this scene was heartbreaking for Raíces crew members and illustrated that while much is already being accomplished in the areas of sustainability and environmentalism, there is still much work to be done.
